Does my s14 have a chance against e46 m3?

[hadokenny]

I know this might sound ridiculous but please dont flame me. I just want to know if theres any chance that i can beat a E46 m3 with my sr s14 with stock turbo? I know that with the stock turbo i can only pull out around 250-260 rwhp and 270lb tq max. Even though the M3 makes nearly 300 rwhp with good fuel, but its tq is around the same or probably less than the sr at high boost. Also, the S14s are around 600lbs lighter.

What do u guys think?

i don't think you have a chance, some dude with a stock sr was talking about beating a 2003 318 BMW(base model, not sports package), i believe the 318 has nothing on the m3. but it doesn't hurt to try though, you might get lucky if the m3 dude mess up shifting.

Yeah, those M3s are hardcore, they are fast. Hes gonna have to mess up a little, but he wont smoke you anywayz, youll hang in the 1/4

[TurboKA37]

say what??? 2003 318??? i was not aware bmw produced a 2003 318. i thought they stopped producing (or at least importing)the 318 back in 96 or so. correct me if im wrong

[ShifDown96240SE]

those things werent really fast anywayz, mod for mod i think we are pretty even with them, they sound WAY cool with that engine on intake and exhaust

[zombieman]

oops, i mean 330i

Go for it. I think you can win this.

i guy on these boards just posted about trading in his prelude and 240 for an m3, you should ask him what he thinks..ill look for the thread

[humpy012]

the m3 would pull up high, but i bet the sr would hang with it through the 1/8th

My friends got the 03 M3 manual and its pretty quick. We ran against his friend in a TT Supra up here on Lake Mary BLVD coming from International Parkway. We actually had a good jump and had it beat but not by far. His bumper was right at his rear wheel well. I think if the Supra got some traction than it would be neck to neck.

Funny think we raced a WRX too but from a dead stop we didnt lose by much but than we took it on the highways and bam it felt like we lost him because all I saw were two dots in the rearview mirror.

I would say the BMW owns you unless he can't drive.
